Oct. 7, 2012: Global Fashion in Boston

Boston may not be known as a mecca for fashion, but look past its passé reputation and it may just surprise you. We decided to hold a fashion show of our own to show you some of the best our local designers have to offer!

Achk Kombana hails from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and lets her heritage speak through her clothing. As an up and coming designer and recent MassArt grad, she was chosen to participate in this year’s THE LAUNCH, a special project at Boston Fashion Week. And Shelley Chhabra, owner of Shelley Chhabra Bridal has some of the most glamorous fashions finds in Indian formal wear! They both brought in an outfit and showed us how Bostonians can step up their looks with a hint of global flair.

And Dee Rodrigues, an accomplished fashion model and entrepreneur, talks about her latest project, Cape Verde’s Next Top Model.
